The following month, her major-label debut Little Voice shot to #1 on the list of most downloaded albums of the music store in its first week of release, and debuted at #45 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album peaked in the Billboard 200 at #7, while Bareilles' single, "Love Song," was certified 2x platinum in April 2008.
